Investigators in the Aaron Hernandez murder case searched a Bristol, Conn., storage unit rented in the name of his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, because they believed she made “overt attempts to hide evidence and to hinder and mislead” the investigation, according to court documents.

Jenkins has not been charged in connection with the June 17 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, her sister's boyfriend.

Hernandez, the former Patriots tight end, has been charged with first-degree murder.

According to the documents, he called Jenkins the day after Lloyd's body was found because he wanted to dispose of weapons in his house.

According to the records, June 18 footage from the home shows Shayanna Jenkins leaving the basement of the house around 1:15 p.m., carrying a trash bag, which authorities say contains a heavy “rigid object,” resembling a lock box or safe.
